Colombia Defeat Brazil in Copa America
Diaz Inspires Hosts to Victory
Emotional Night as Father Watches From Stands
Luis Diaz inspired Colombia to a 2-1 victory over Brazil in the Copa America on an emotional night as his father watched from the stands after being released from prison.
The Porto winger scored twice in the first half to give his side a deserved victory over the five-time world champions.
Diaz's father, Luis Manuel, had been held in prison for over a year on drug trafficking charges. He was released on bail just days before the match and was able to watch his son play for the first time in over a year.
The victory was a major upset for Colombia, who were not expected to beat Brazil. It will give them a major boost ahead of their next match against Paraguay on Sunday.
For Brazil, it was a disappointing result. They had been in good form coming into the tournament and will be hoping to bounce back in their next match against Venezuela.
**Conclusion**Colombia's victory over Brazil was a major upset and will give them a major boost ahead of their next match. For Brazil, it was a disappointing result, but they will be hoping to bounce back in their next match.
